Diocletian: At 50:18 in this film https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4W... (Bobby Fischer Against the World) an unidentified player is interviewed during the '72 title match. I think this person is Schroeder. Correct?

Diocletian: <MissScarlett: Dr. Alekhine is racist, Dr. Lasker is racist, Dr. Seuss is racist....wouldn't it be be quicker just to name those who aren't racist?> Perhaps you are referring to Jesus Christ, who may not have been a racist, but was certainly a patzer and, some say an ...

Diocletian: His were some of my first books as a child, and I suppose that is the case for most of us. I have heard him described as the nerd's nerd. I keep his picture on my desktop to remind me to stay home, play chess, collect stamps, study rocks and minerals, collect coins and stay out ...

Diocletian: A good puzzle that I admit to finding harder than "easy" but that gives way to the great principle,'see-a-check-give-a-check," and respecting the powerful pawn. Now the knight sac 12. Ne5 - is it really sound? Is there an equally simple principle here, or must I calculate ...
